With 10+ years' experience in the translation industry and an MA in Translation & Interpreting Studies, I approach my translation work with a mixture of passion and precision; I am committed to getting every word right, and to creating translations that read like original documents. My speciality areas include tourism and travel, wine and EU affairs.
